After playing for a few hours, my conclusion is that everyone is terrible at this game including me.

Except with Rein, I did okay with him.

Or in other words you get a penalty for being bad, having bad teammates and having no friends. Aka. solo queue :c00lbutt:

they're just broke and don't play videogames

solo queue is heeeellllllll

Solo queue has kinda forced me to develop a Pharah and a Soldier at least for those moments where someone needs to hunt down that fuckin' mercy KILL MERCY FUCKERS

Low morale causes the golems to dance in panic.
solo queue usually dropped me in one of three things:

1. A game that's about to end in 10 seconds with my team losing
2. A game eternally missing a 12th person so it's just us walking around an empty map shooting eachother with no goal
3. A game that begins properly somehow.

I love what arcade mode does to the lineups power. Mei, Tracer, and Zarya become the ultimate monsters of evil and no amount of breaking it down can stop their onslaught.

Goddamn does the screen become a mess in that mode.

You forgot Lúcio. Constantly amping it up is hilarious :allears:

e: Most fun game was two Lúcios, our entire team was just bouncing around while constantly healing and the opponents got really mad.

Pubbie picks Hanzo afterwards and sits on it and sits on it. Waiting for me to give it up to him. But I don't. Then he sits in spawn and decides whether to just leave or not cause I wouldn't let him play Hanzo.

Teaming up with goons = fun. But I feel there's more pressure to win? Teaming up creates zero sum dynamics whereas if you're just in Quick Play you can dick around.

Really the best part about arcade Lucio is that his right-click recharges instantly. In a mode where you'll be lucky if you kill anything, punting people off points and cliffs is great.

Man, what's up with release and Bastion players? Are they just jumping in the bandwagon thanks to all the dumb redditors screaming for nerfs to Bastion?

Dear Bastion players in 5 consecutive games: you can't move on turret mode due to the power trade-off. You can move on Recon. loving MOVE.

Seriously 5 game sin a row a bastion shooting people in Recon mode, standing in one place. One of them even got a card because he got 4 recon kills. Never moved.

Also, entering turret mode out in the open, in front of their whole team: great idea keep it up.

Note to self: This one's the shitty one
I am definitely getting weird spikes of horrendous FPS drops. My PC can run this at ~60 FPS on max settings, but on occasion in game I'll just drop to 10-20 for a few seconds, then right back to 60. That never happened to me in beta, so I have no idea what's up.

AMD card, so it isn't the new drivers Nvidia pushed.

Been playing absolutely nothing but Genji under any and all circumstances. Instant lock-in every time. 2 Genjis already? I choose Genji. I will stare them down on the character select screen until they capitulate to my iron will and go with something else. Or not, and we get a team full of useless ninjas. I am the ultimate Genji Picker.

My favorite moment of the night was Zarya grabbing the entire enemy team with her ult, including a tank Bastion. I ran up, hit deflect, and Bastion blew up every single one of his teammates, including himself, by continuing to fire at me. It lost them the match and they yelled at him when they saw the replay.

Somehow, the boy just isn't very buoyant.
Phlogistic and I had a match last night where the enemy team on defense decided they would run 6 Bastions thinking that was going to make them win easily.

I went Widowmaker and ruined their day. At the end of the match they all sat on the final push waiting for us, I popped my ult, and one of our buddies as McCree used his ult from above them to murder the entire team and we just waltzed into victory.

:potg:

We also played a match of 2 Reinhardt / 2 Mercy / a Hanzo (me) and a Bastion and just sat on the first point and nothing could push past us. I love this game so much.

Just played a payload game as Reinheart on attack with 2 widows on my team. Managed to win merely by staying on the cart almost the whole time since the enemy team simply didn't seem interested in it.

Wow, having a pocket healer is great. For some reason I had a really good fight as Junkrat, so this Mercy just attaches to me and together we dominated the match.


...Then we were on opposite teams the next match, and they switched to Pharah and proceeded to completely murder me over and over :magical:

Winston is far better at picking off Mercy as he has enough health to get into the fray, a shield and an autolocking beam gun that melts Mercy and other squishy classes.

People shouldn't think of Winston as a Tank, he's more of an offensive support disruptor.

You're not even wrong, I just feel more comfortable with Bird Girl. She can actually use the poo poo teammates as a distraction for her aerial shenanigans, which is a plus. Soldier is more for turrets.

Hanamura defending, we went 5 dwarf man and 1 reaper, guy stopped playing and was typing the entire match.
Thank you for switching to dwarf man with me, just to make the guy more angry, goons who played with me. :allears:
